Cinema Spectator

ECFS Productions

An ECFS Productions Original Podcast: Cinema Spectator is a film history podcast that takes away the pretense that usually comes along with learning about film. Each week, we tackle a "classic" of film history but do these films actually hold up for a modern audience? Can they entertain someone who grew up on Spider-Man reboots and Jim Carrey movies, or will they forever be relics of a bygone era?

    Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

    Cameron and Juzo discuss one of the biggest releases of the year, James Cameron's latest film Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). However you feel about the Avatar films, you have to admit that the scale of these films and the fact that they consistently put up record numbers at the box office is extremely impressive. Listen to find out what we think of the latest in the franchise.  Warning: we do spoil Avatar: Way of Water (2022) in this review, as it is very closely tied to the newest film.    Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

    The Green Mile (1999)

    This week we explore Frank Darabont's sophomore feature The Green Mile (1999). As a follow up to the classic and beloved The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile is more bleak, longer, and certainly more gruesome. However, it was an immediate box office success, and has stood the test of time as a beloved classic. Enjoy our review of this death row classic.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

    Nouvelle Vague (2025)

    Bringing our show back to its very first episode, we take a look at Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague (2025), a movie about the making of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960). Spoiler Alert: he makes Breathless by the end. We also do quite a bit of dilly-dallying to start off the show, so if you just want our thoughts about the film skip to 53 minutes. But everything before that is true art, the essence of cinema.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.
